Today we say goodbye to this great blue bird This logo was designed in 2012 by a team of three. @toddwaterbury, @angyche and myself, The logo was designed to be simple, balanced, and legible at very small sizes, almost like a lowercase "e", a 🧵

With Sections releasing in about 2 weeks I want to also share some additional experiments I have been doing with the algorithm. Thinking about how I go in reverse and try and find outputs that recreate my previous hand done illustrations. To start here is "En Route" vs 3 outputs
GM EVERYONE! So so so excited to finally officially announce and show my upcoming project with Fellowship: S E C T I O N S A fully onchain generative interactable work built in my aesthetic language. Lets dive in just briefly: 👇 1/

The more I get to meet and know people who are still around in this space the more I realize just how hard each person is working. Always something to learn from every discussion I have.

This was an epic week, I had so much fun (too much) and I need to declare that working with @sofiagarcia_io , @bennavkim, and @benoit_tokyo_ was a wonderful experience. I also can't thank @motzko enough for all the work he did to transform my crappy old html files into something that viewers could interact with. The show closes today and there is so much great work in there. Drop by and show Sofia some love, since she has to strike it all at the end of the day.
If you’re in New York, come say hi! The show closes this Sunday and I’ll be there every day until it does :) WWW!!!!!! 💙🌐

WWW! Theme 2/4 → ⭑ Abstraction ⭑ WEBSITES WEBSITES WEBSITES! (WWW!) is on view in New York through September 27, and online the exhibition is organized into four themes, each a distinct path through thirty years of art on the web. ⭑ Anarchy ⭑ Abstraction ⭑ Poetic Computing ⭑ Ghosts We're introducing them one by one. Today: ⭑ ABSTRACTION After the dot-com boom, social media changed how we use the web. Surfing became scrolling, and the rabbit holes one could wander into were flattened into feeds. Abstraction carries a double meaning. Creatively, the 2010s saw a wave of artists using websites as vitrines for live, web-native generative work — visually abstract, and viewable by anyone, anywhere, with a connection. But abstraction also names the black-boxing of technology: complex processes hidden away to present seamless user experiences, often to the detriment of the individual. These artists use the browser for both visual exploration and scrutiny, setting the beauty of computational processes against a less comfortable question: how much of the technology we use every day can we actually see or understand? See the works in this theme below ↓
